This is the first release of a real project that I’ve been involved in. I had written an article last month that inspired Werner Bruhin to want to take it and make it into a demonstration program for new wxPython programmers in how to do MVC and CRUD while interfacing with a database. Thus, MediaLocker was born. We hope you like it.

Description
================

A wxPython database application that can help you keep track of your media. Currently, it only tracks your Book library. You can read more about the project’s development in the following two articles:

After you have downloaded the source, run “python setup_lib.py develop” in the main folder before you try to run “mediaLocker.py”. If you are on wxPython 2.8, download the pubsub path (above) and extract it to “C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.2-msw\wx\lib” (or wherever your wxPython is installed).

Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 when wxPython is updated to 2.8.12 through the ppa and SQLA is updated through pip or easy_install. Everything works fine, so it should work on any linux system once you meet the minimum requirements. Though you need to clone the repository. The tar doesn’t work for me on either windows or linux.

Thanks for the app. I’ve been looking for something more than the simple tutorial apps that combines wxPython and SQLA. This fits the bill perfectly!

If you need any help with linux testing, let me know. I’ll be working through the code over the next week or two as time permits.

Thanks for the feedback. Just out of curiosity, what happened when you tried to run the tarred code? Did you get an error?
